Rosegold & Mossy Green Eyes //Spring FOTD

Don't get me wrong, I do not have the pleasure of being in Spring but I kind of feel like it is with all of the spring-inspired makeup looks going around lately. If you can't tell I am quite big in "matching" my makeup to the seasons but I can easily forget which season I am actually in, especially when I barely see any autumny looks going around.
Anyway, without meaning to on this day I was just applying my eyeshadow without really thinking of the outcome in the end, but I ended up with loving this combo! Although the eyes did not end up turning rose gold like they did in the jar, it still looked pretty. Paired with a very light blush and bolder lip added to the springy look.

This is also the same eyeshadow I was wearing in one of my swatches for the Maybelline One by One post.

I feel like the lip colour definetly added to the spring feeling, and the chrome eyeshadow that I dabbed on the center of my lips made the colour look less bright pink & more fuchsia while "plumping" up my lips.

Does anyone else in the Southern Hemisphere have the same problem as me with getting too inspired by everyone else's season to stick with their own? Or do you not really care if your makeup matches in with the season or not, for example wearing dark smoky eyes & wine coloured lips when it is summer, or barely there light makeup for winter?

"Oh
and I have some pretty exciting news :) I will most likely be going on a
spending ban (awesome specials & the absolute essentials not
included haha) as I had to shell out for a new passport... because my
Fiancee and I have finally booked our holiday to America in July!! We
have been talking about it for years so now that we've booked our
flights and started on our hotels I am getting excited because it's
actually going to happen! So
the main reason for my spending ban is because obviously because I am
going to take a huge advantage of everything we get taxed so hard for...
makeup, beauty, clothes, shoes.....and hopefully not go too much over
the luggage limit haha.I am
already planning what I want to buy and what I will need to to take...
it is going to be hard to select extremely minimal makeup that I can
bring!"

Oh my goodness, I LOVE your eyeshadow. I never would have come up with something like that, I always seem to find myself using browns and taupes and golds. Whilst I love them, I miss out on cool looks like this! Love it.xxx

Rose Hip looks really good on you! I really don't feel limited by the weather - but sometimes the weather does lend a certain feel to some of my looks. If it's bright and sunny outside, I'll be inclined to bust out my bright colors, but it's more of how the weather affects my mood. I'm probably not making any sense but I just wanted to share my two cents (hah, you see what I did there?) ;)

I know what you mean, I am the same as well! I should have probably said it more like that- I get inspired by the 'summer weather' or the winter weather because it will put me in a mood to match my makeup. Now that is not making sense haha x

Oh gosh, summer holiday in America! I'm jealous! I can't wait till I have time with my boyfriend in the future to spend time together on holiday. I like the look, its light and fresh and very spring/summer! Loving the lip, its so nice on you!
